Department of Physiology and Medical Physics
The branch was founded in 1988. This branch is a major branch and the founder for this department. • The branch works on the task of teaching human physiology for second year students in Al- Nahrain Medical College as a basic subject in the study of medicine. • The branch also is to teach the Engineering College students/ Medical Engineering Department in Al-Nahrain University and human physiology and bio-technology. • The branch also teaches and trains graduate students in other medical branches such as the pharmacology branch and the high diploma and Board in radio diagnosis speciality. • The branch also contributes in the development of students mental skills through various academic and practical modern teaching methods. • The branch provides students with different clinical examination basics, and how to apply this information in practical life. • The branch is linked to the Iraqi Board of medical specialties (neurophysiology speciality) and it is considered as the principal founder of this speciality. • The branch grants Master and doctoral degrees in medical physiology speciality for postgraduate students in order to prepare them to be lecturers or researchers .The first Master Degree was granted in 1993 to prof. Dr. Haider Ghani. The first doctorate was granted to prof. Dr. Isra Ja’afar. The first doctorate was granted to Prof. Dr. Farqad Bader Hamdan in 2000.

The master's thesis defense of (Rusel Jaafar Dahi) in the Department of Physiology and Medical Physics at Al-Nahrain College of Medicine.

On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, the master's thesis defense of (Rusel Jaafar Dahi) in the Department of Physiology and Medical Physics took place for her thesis titled:

(Comparison of the Antibacterial Impact of Biosynthesized Selenium Nanoparticles in the Absence and Presence of an Electric Field).

The objectives of the study:

  • Preparation of SeNPs nanoparticles biologically from Ralstonia mannitolilytica.

  • Characterization of biosynthesized selenium nanoparticles using Ralstonia mannitolilytica isolated from soil, along with various tests, including UV-V spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and FTIR.

  • Investigating the effect of selenium nanoparticles against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with and without the application of an electric field.

  • Studying the impact of selenium nanoparticles on bacterial toxicity and cytotoxicity (in vitro and in vivo) in the presence and absence of an electric field.

  • Evaluating the cytotoxic effects of selenium nanoparticles against cells.

The defense committee consisted of:

  • Prof. Dr. Rasha Sabeeh Ahmed (Chair)

  • Prof. Dr. Firas Sabeeh Mohammed (Member)

  • Assist. Prof. Dr. Jenan Hussein Taha (Member)

  • Assist. Prof. Dr. Mazin Kamel Hamed (Supervisor)

The thesis was successfully accepted with

Master's thesis defense of Hussein Hadi Saeed, Department of Physiology and Medical Physics.

On Sunday, September 1, 2024, Master's student Hussein Hadi Saeed from the Department of Physiology and Medical Physics defended his thesis titled:

**"Use of Pseudo-Perception for Reducing the Inaccuracy and Increasing Efficiency of Long Surgical Devices"**

**Objective**: This research aimed to utilize the pseudo-perception feature in MATLAB to reduce the impact of surgeon tremors on the accuracy and efficiency of long surgical tools used in endoscopic surgery.

The study concluded that the pseudo-perception method significantly reduced time consumption and was less prone to failed attempts. The method also received higher ratings for ease of operation, accuracy, and faster usage speed.

**Examination Committee**:

- **Prof. Dr. Ihsan Sobhi Ne'ma** (Chair)

- **Prof. Dr. Amal Hussein Abbas** (Member)

- **Assist. Prof. Dr. Jinan Hussein Taha** (Member)

- **Prof. Dr. Siham Sabah Abdullah** (Supervisor)

- **Assist. Prof. Dr. Munir Khamas Faraj** (Supervisor)

The thesis was successfully accepted with distinction.
